Chapter 54: See Kobe Again

Please recommend votes and Sanjiang votes!

Back in Los Angeles, Murphy gave himself two days off, hid in the house in the Latin community, and made up for a while. Perhaps the strange experience left the sequelae of headaches. After being busy during this period, the number of headaches occurred more and more frequently. Although it was not as severe as the torn pain when he just came to this world, it could also affect his thinking and normal work and life.

After two days of rest and feeling that his body and energy have recovered, Murphy did not rush to start post-production, but contacted Bill Roses. The two sides had a few talks and were preparing to sign a formal brokerage contract.

Having a professional broker from Caa is far more beneficial than a bad one, and there is nothing to lose for a person like him who has no qualifications.

Unlike the cross-management of celebrity actors or successful directors, Caa will not invest much resources in new directors like Murphy. As long as you sign a contract with Caa, Bill Roses will become his exclusive agent.

The signing of the two parties is also very simple. After the intention was reached, Murphy brought his lawyer Robert to Century City. In the building rented by Caa, Bill Roses and a Caa business lawyer were already waiting in a small conference room.

Caa signs some newcomers every year, including many people who can succeed, but these people are not paid attention to before they succeed, and Murphy is no exception. This kind of contract is more like a routine.

“Welcome to caa.”

After signing the contract, Bill Roses solemnly shook hands with Murphy, "Here, your future is unlimited."

This is just a scene. Caa signed an internship contract similar to that signed by a large company and an intern, a very junior brokerage contract. This kind of contract is also conducive to giving up when the signer is worthless.

Correspondingly, the contract does not restrict the contract signing customers. If both parties do not want to cooperate, they will not pay much liquidated damages.

This kind of contract will only be used for newcomers like Murphy. As long as they can become famous, Caa will immediately issue a new contract.

Compared to these scenes, Murphy paid more attention to practical things. When the two lawyers left, he said directly, "Bill, I need a post-production room, the equipment needs to be perfect, and the rent is relatively cheap."

"No problem." Bill Roses said simply, "Wait for my good news."

Originally, Murphy wanted to rent the post-production studio of Channel 6, but after contacting Carla Fais, he gave up this plan. The post-production studio of Channel 6 could only be rented in time, which did not meet his needs at all.

This is Los Angeles, the center of the world's film industry. It is not difficult to rent a post-production room, but after preliminary preparation and shooting, the crew's salary was settled. Murphy's 300,000 US dollars in his hands were only less than 50,000 US dollars left. Next, there are expenses such as editor's salary and soundtrack copyright fees, and the rent that can be paid is very limited.

If you want to rent a studio with complete equipment and cheap rent... it is difficult.

Before Murphy left, Bill Roses took out his cell phone and made several calls in succession, showing the ability and relationship network of a professional entertainment agent. After putting down his cell phone, he smiled and said, "I can find a suitable post-production room in up to five days."

"Ok!" Murphy was not a fool. It could be seen that Bill Roses was showing his strength, "I'll wait for your good news."

He stood up and prepared to say goodbye, and Bill Roses said again, "Wait."

Murphy looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"How long will it take for your video to be completed?" Bill Roses said without waiting for Murphy to answer. "If all the productions can be completed before the New Year, I can help you get the opportunity to participate in the St. Dennis Film Festival."

Hearing this, Murphy immediately became interested. The St. Denis Film Festival is a paradise for independent films. Although the entry threshold is low, there are certain requirements to enter the formal exhibition session.

According to his understanding, if you want to participate in the St. Denis Film Festival, instead of showing the roadside screening during the film festival, you need to apply in advance. After the application is approved, the organizing committee will send an invitation letter. You can only participate after receiving the invitation letter.

Of course, if you are some excellent movies or filmmakers, the Sundance Film Festival producer will directly send an invitation letter.

Murphy believes that he can't reach this level.

"I'll do my best." He left this sentence before leaving.

Just like shooting, he is also a novice in post-production, so who knows what kind of difficulties he will encounter?

After leaving the conference room, Murphy turned into the elevator and waited for a while. The elevator came down from above and thought about some post-production issues. He entered the elevator without raising his head.

When he walked into the elevator, Murphy immediately felt something was wrong. He felt something particularly tall on the left, almost completely covering himself. He quickly turned around and looked at it. A black man about six feet and six inches was standing there like an iron tower, and he also turned around and looked over.

"It's you!" The black man's tone was quite unkind.

"Hello..." Murphy greeted calmly, "Long time no see, Mr. Bryant."

The person on the left is Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect that when he came to Caa to do business, he would meet this shameless guy, and his fists immediately clenched.

Murphy was tense and was ready to start the fight.

But Kobe Bryant was more rational than he thought, and snorted coldly twice, but did not take action.

There are indeed few reckless people who can become a top superstar. Murphy looked up at his black face, and Kobe Bryant was staring at him condescendingly.

The elevator door opened with a jingle at this time. Murphy took the lead in leaving the elevator before Kobe Bryant. It was probably during work hours, and there was no one in the elevator on the first floor.

Kobe Bryant behind also got out of the elevator, but Murphy turned around and stretched out his hand, "Let's get to know each other for the official, Mr. Bryant, I am Murphy Stanton, a film director."

"What?" Kobe Bryant did not mean to shake hands with Ben, but was surprised, "Aren't you a paparazzi?"

Murphy shrugged, "I'm a director, I'm in the same agency as you."

Without waiting for Kobe Bryant to react, Murphy took out a business card and stuffed it into his big hand. "If you are interested in acting in movies, you can call me."

After saying that, Murphy nodded at him, turned around and walked out of the elevator.

Kobe Bryant behind him was a little stunned. He first looked at Murphy's back and then looked at the business card in his hand. This was definitely the most shameless and shameless person he had ever met.

He threw the business card into the trash can, and Kobe Bryant left.

In less than five days, Bill Rossis handled the rental of the post-production room for Murphy. Murphy went to see it himself. The rental production room is located in Burbank, a small production company owned by Disney. It has all the equipment in it. He spent another $30,000 to obtain the right to use it in the next two months.

This price is not expensive, and Bill Roses played a lot of role in it.
